Thanks again for the warm welcome.  Like I mentioned before, I started flight simming back when Microprose created F-17 Stealth Fighter.. I think I own 
  every flight sim out there since.  A few years back when OFF was in beta I downloaded that first free version as I had CFS3 in my collection.  Well it hammered my PC,   Blue screens, re-boots you name it.  So it left a sour taste in my mouth... But - I have been following the development cycle (I'm a software developer by 
  trade) and have seen some remarkable accomplishments with each release.  That and the fact I really wanted to get a WW1 sim, made me give it another go... 
  
  
  Hence - I'm hooked now....
